SylWrap SC Pipe Repair Bandage

How to make a flexible repair to a complex pipe shape with SylWrap SC

SylWrap SC is easy to use. Dipping the flexible pipe repair bandage into water activates the resin. It is then wrapped tightly around the pipework which requires strengthening or protection.

Further water is used to smooth SylWrap SC down as the application continues, ensuring the bandage fully conforms to the pipe. Once the resin has cured, the finished repair will offer fantastic uniformity.

SylWrap SC has a work time of 2-5 minutes. A functional cure is achieved in 30 minutes and a full cure with maximum properties in 24 hours.
